Building a small tank, Acrylic build.

[Stramn]

Okay, I managed to get a hold of some 1" thick Acrylic scraps and thus I want to build an acrylic tank, the scraps are not very large, most pieces are less than 20" and are oddly shaped. so I was thinking it might be cool to make a roughly 16x16x16 cube setup. I have no clue how to put the acrylic together though. from everything I have read you need some sort of bonding agent. My guess is that I couldn't just drill and counter sink screws to hold it together because I'm guessing it will leak that way lol

You just need to buy the correct solvent weld. Its similar to assembling PVC pipe fittings.

Dude literally bulletproof tank build, should be easy working with that thick acrylic on a small build

You need weldon #4 and weldon #16. #4 is a solvent with a consitency of water and #16 is more creamy.

Cube rimless would be sweet.
